Elise Beaucousin, born in 1978, is a french artist who lives and works in Paris surbub, France as well in Issoudun, countryside in the center of France.

Beaucousin focuses on intricate mark making that renders both sheer and illusionistic surfaces. The artists’ work captures the tactile with the tangible that suggests both crumpled up and woven surfaces.

Velvet portray a vast surface, similar to fabric, that hews together in hem-like lines that eventually meander into a complex geography.
